Then the power series (cv(z — a)v) is absolutely summable in P and its sum
is equal to f(z).

Using Cauchy's formula, and the fact that/(0; %) = 1 (see (9.8.4)), we
have, by induction on p — k and the assumption,

other hand, for \zk — %| < rfc (1 < k^p), we can write, for |^ - ak\ = rk

conclusion follows by taking k = 0. Moreover (9.9.4.2), for k = 0, proves
